Taking Woodstock

2009, Movie, 2h

The story of Elliot Tiber and his family, who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the famed Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the happening that it was. When Elliot hears that a neighboring town has pulled the permit on a hippie music festival, he calls the producers thinking he could drum up some much-needed business for his parents' run-down motel. Three weeks later, half a million people are on their way to his neighbor’s farm in White Lake, New York, and Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life–and American culture–forever.

Taking Woodstock er en film om ungdomsoprøret fra stor til lille skala. Og Woodstock er det mikrokosmos, hvor oprøret sker.

In the summer of 1969, Elliot Tiber, a struggling interior designer from Greenwich Village, returns home to help his parents save their run-down motel, El Monaco, in Bethel, New York. With the motel facing financial troubles and the bank threatening to foreclose, Elliot sees an opportunity to revitalize the business by hosting a small musical festival. He obtains a permit from the town's chamber of commerce and offers the motel and its facilities to the organizers of the Woodstock Festival, who are facing opposition against their originally planned location. Elliot's offer is accepted, and the festival is set to take place on Max Yasgur's nearby farm. As more and more people arrive, the festival grows in size and scope, becoming the iconic Woodstock Music and Arts Festival that defines a generation.
